 | Kichikawa Injured During Stretching Routine
Monday, July 30th, 2012: Izo Kichikawa is likely to miss some playing time after straining a rib cage muscle during a stretching exercise. The Fukuoka SoftBank third baseman reported feeling intense soreness in his left side following the routine and was immediately examined by the team's medical staff. "Luckily, it was just a strain and not a tear," said team doctor Bob Cochrane. "If the muscle had been torn, he might have been out for several months. A strain will probably heal within 2-3 weeks."
